Converting Auto Wheel Hubs to Manual

Aug 23, 2004 3 Replies

Hi.



I don't want to spend many hundreds of dollars on new automatic locking wheel hubs for my '91 XLT especially when they will probably not last all that long. I found some manual locking hubs at:

It says it also needs aconversion kit.



Can anyone tell me if these are good hubs or if I should get a different brand? Is there a better source? Is this difficult to do? Will I need to buy more tools? Do I need to replace the wheel bearings or other parts while I'm at it? Any tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I bought the Warn hubs. I've got no complaints, and as far as I know Warn is a very good hub.

Extremely excellent! Thanks!
